Why we cancelled U.S. military training, by Fed Govt

THE Federal Government explained yesterday that it pulled out of the final phase of United States (U.S.) training for Nigerian soldiers because it did not include the equipment component.

It said it could not afford to withdraw the equipment needed for the training from the field because Nigerian soldiers were using it to fight insurgents in the Northeast.

The Coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mr. Mike Omeri said this yesterday at the security briefing in Abuja.

Omeri noted that it would not be wise for the government to pull out the equipment from the field and put it in Jaji for the training, while soldiers were out fighting insurgents.

His words: “The training that is being mentioned is supposed to be in three phases. Two phases have been concluded. The next phase requires some logistical components and I don’t think it’s wise to take equipment from the field and keep them in Jaji for training, when our soldiers are out there needing the equipment.

“The training that is being offered by the American government did not also come with the equipment component. So, if our soldiers need the same equipment, and you all know the status of our stock, we will not withdraw everything and go for training, when we have need for it on the field.”

Omeri said Nigerian soldiers have concluded two phases of the training, adding that government would conclude the final phase once the equipments were available.

According to him, other aspects of bilateral cooperation with the U.S. were “still ongoing and strong”.

You just close your dumb drain to reasoning, recently Nigeria has made efforts to acquire arms even from US, they refused, Nigeria tried tru other means was frustrated by evil minded South Africa. Now you want them to go bring left over ammunition needed to combat those Boko Haram insurgents that get fresh arms from people like you and waste for this? Does it make sense to you at all?

Absolute nonsense! what is the meaning of such rubbish? That the equipment to be used in training soldiers are being used in fighting the insurgent in the northeast! How many soldiers are in maiduguri? What this idiots are telling us is that,they don’t even have any plan against external invasions.
May God never let us remember this useless administration of Jonathan and the PDP in the future again, not to talk of having a similar one.

How can you expose our country to such risk and your foolishness to be known in the face of the whole world?
